This volume investigates the ways in which people in western Europe between the fall of Rome and the twelfth century used the past: to legitimate the present, to understand current events, and as a source of identity. Each essay examines the mechanisms by which ideas about the past were subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) reshaped for present purposes. As well as written histories, also discussed are saints' lives, law codes, buildings, Biblical commentary, monastic foundations, canon law and oral traditions. The book thus has important implications for how historians use these sources as evidence: they emerge as representations of the past made for very special reasons, often by interested parties. This was the first volume to be devoted fully to these themes, and as such it makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the role of the past within early medieval societies.

The election of fringe political parties on the far and extreme right across Europe since spring 2014 has brought the political discourse of 'old Europe' and 'tradition' to the foreground. Writers and politicians on the right have called for the reclamation, rediscovery, and return of the spirit of national identities rooted in the medieval past. Though the 'medieval' is often deployed as a stigmatic symbol of all that is retrograde, against modernity, and barbaric, the medieval is increasingly being sought as a bedrock of tradition, heritage, and identity. Both characterizations - the medieval as violent other and the medieval as vital foundation - are mined and studied in this book. It examines contemporary political uses of the Middle Ages to ask why the medieval continues to play such a prominent role in the political and historical imagination today.

Ad libros ! « Aux livres ! », ce cri attribué à dom Guillaume de Raynald au moment où le feu ravageait la Grande Chartreuse lors de l'incendie de 1371 est à la fois une injonction et un élan que tout médiéviste peut reprendre à son compte : élan du chercheur vers ses sources, injonction du professeur à ses élèves. Ces deux mots latins, qui ont servi de devise à Denise Angers et Joseph-Claude Poulin, forment donc un titre idéal pour des mélanges qui célèbrent ce couple d'humanistes passionnés. Ce mantra est aussi un credo qui explique toute l'importance que Denise Angers et Joseph-Claude Poulin ont accordée dans leur pédagogie à cet aspect de la formation des jeunes médiévistes à Ottawa, à Québec ou à Montréal : cours sur les sources, introduction à la paléographie, à la codicologie ou à l'archéologie médiévale. Les études qui sont réunies dans ce livre rendent hommage à leur irréprochable engagement scientifique, dans un bouquet de contributions qui embrassent l'ensemble du Moyen Âge, du VIIIe au XVe siècle – avec une avancée jusqu'en Nouvelle-France –, mais dont le point commun réside dans l'attention aux sources.
